You mean you'd believe it over me?  Obviously the tissue
I chanced upon is out to do some extorting, and I said no
or ticked it off. 

Indeed, once children get wind of the way things really are,
it will be "take me to the zoo or I'll tell the teacher you abused
me. What does "abused" mean?  Or I'll call Mir. Rafal across
the street who is bigger than you."

:-)   Now I am sure we will reach an, er, accomodation. But
thanks for the heads up. I had forgotten that once we get rid
of the state monopoly on force, it'll be each of us and his
protection agency for himself.

P.S.  Wait I think we did have the same disagreement years
ago about the unutterable <I-word> before the roof caved
in on our discussion.
